The latest and grea... Erm well the latest project. Going to be used as a daily, streeto and occasional track toy.

BMW E30 318i

Mods so far: Gave it a jet wash.

Soon to come mods: Machine polish, Radio, IS front lip, Gloss black front and rear bumpers (AE86 style), Nardi replica wheel, Chipped ECU, Lowering springs, semi stripped interior, Welded diff.

Possible future mods: Some kind of JDM wheels, bucket seats and harnesses, Something with more grunt under the bonnet.

It may be standard but it looks very tidy.

Best of luck with it.

Nice tidy car. A polish, colour coded bumpers, 15" BBS will transform it.

Polish yes. Colour coded bumpers and bbs wheels are too played out. I'm going AE86 style on it.

Professionally machine polish, followed by more polish and hours of elbow grease.

You seem to be generalising there, a 318i is slower than a Civic not all E30's are lumbered with a wheezing 4 potter same as not all Civics have a V-tec engine.
